Blake POV

     I am sitting in my room contemplating whether or not to try and convince (Y/n) and Sun to leave so they may at least be safe from the choices I make. The door opens and (Y/n) walks in and starts removing his armor.

(Y/n): I've been thinking about how we should approach exposing the White Fang-

Blake: Stop.

(Y/n): Blake?

Blake: Just, don't. I'm not here to fight the White Fang, I just wanted to protect my friends.

(Y/n): Then why run away?

Blake: Because, everyone will be safer without me around to cause them pain! Yang lost her arm, you nearly died twice fighting my battles! No more.

(Y/n): You know I hate it when you lie to me like that.

Blake: Lie how?! You did no better by keeping your father's murder a secret from me!

(Y/n): Because I didn't want to lose the only friend I ever had just because I was too cowardly to face the past! Now, I am here to help you, if you'll just let me.

Blake: I, can't.

(Y/n): Wow, I thought you were a fighter, guess I was wrong.

     With that he puts his armor back on and walks out, I did it, I drove my best friend and my love away, and it's probably the hardest I'll ever do. I sit there and start crying to myself.

(Y/n) POV

     I walk downstairs and grab my weapons and Sun is confused.

Sun: You guys are breaking up?! After everything you've been through together, you're just going to let end like that?!

(Y/n): No, she just needs time. Look out for her, please?

Sun: Yeah, you got it.

     With that I leave the house and head to the tavern to see some family friends. I walk in and see a familiar looking boar faunus who heard the door open and says.

????: Welcome to Hakuna Matata Falls where the drinks don't- (Y/n) my boy!

(Y/n): Hey Uncle Pumbaa.

Pumbaa: Hahaha, *bearhugs (Y/n)* It's good to see you! Please have a seat and you can tell ol' Pumbaa what's troubling you.

(Y/n): Am I that transparent?

Pumbaa: Of course you are! Something's obviously bothering uou to the point of tears.

     I wipe my eyes and I am indeed tearing up, Uncle Pumbaa's always been good at reading people. I take a seat and ask.

(Y/n): Where's Timon?

Pumbaa: Late night I'm sure. Now tell me what's troubling you?

(Y/n): Well, Blake and I have been dating for almost a year now.

Pumbaa: I always told Timon you two were meant for eachother.

(Y/n): Yeah well, the Fall of Beacon Academy didn't help. She's convinced that distancing herself from everyone will keep them safe and no matter what I say I just- *sigh*

Timon: Do you love her?

     I look back and see Timon walking into the bar, the meerkat faunus takes a seat next to Pumbaa.

(Y/n): Uncle Timon?

Timon: Do you truly love her?

(Y/n): More than anything on the planet.

Pumbaa: Then Hakuna Matata, no worries!

Timon: She'll remember that too, so I suggest you go back and just be there for her.

     I honestly felt a lot better and had a clearer view on how to help Blake.

(Y/n): Thank you both. Seriously, thank you.

     I give both a big hug and walk out, when I get a call on my scroll, from Sun. This can't be good.

Blake POV

Meanwhile...

     I am standing outside my Father's study, debating whether or not to go in and talk with him. Then my mother walks up to me with a tray of tea.

Kali: You know, you can always go in and say hi.

Blake: I don't want to bother him.

Kali: A father's never too busy for his daughter.

Blake: Not all of my friends would agree with you on that.

Kali: *kisses Blake's cheek* Here. *hands Blake tray*

Blake: What? *Kali starts walking away* Where are you going?

Kali: You've never been very chatty, but that monkey you brought with you loves to run his mouth. I wanna hear more about the adventures of team RWBY.

     Mom walks away with a smile, leavong me alone, until I hear my dad's voice.

Ghira: Kali, is that you dear?

     I stand there shaking but finally pluck up the courage to walk in, thanks to something (Y/n) said a while back.

(Y/n): *memory* One of the only regrets I ever had was not talking to my dad more. If I could talk to him again, I would.

     I walk in and close the door behind me.

Blake: Hi dad.

Ghira: *looks up* Blake! This is an a pleasant surprise.

Blake: I...

Ghira: Please. Come, sit.

     We start to head to the couch.

Ghira: Don't worry, I've got it. Sit down. Sit down.

Blake: I don't wanna keep you if you're-

Ghira: Nonsense, I've been cooped up in here all day. *while pouring tea* You still take sugar right?

Blake: Uh, actually-

Ghira: Oh, I'm sorry-

Blake: No, no, no, no, it's fine, really.

Ghira: Old habits, I suppose.

     I took a sip but instantly pulled away at the heat.

Ghira: Might want to let it cool.

Blake: Right.

Ghira: So... is it... warm... in Vale?

Blake: Huh?

Ghira: It's just... seems your outfit doesn't cover much.

Blake: *covers her stomach* It covers plenty.

Ghira: I mean, a little more armor might help. I mean look at at (Y/n).

Blake: I don't need armor. I can look after myself. And (Y/n)'s armor didn't help much against....

Ghira: I- I know you can, I'm sorry.

Blake: Why?

Ghira: Hmm?

Blake: Why would you say that?

Ghira: *takes a seat next to Blake* Sweetheart, what's wrong? What did I say?

Blake: How can you still love me after what I did?

Ghira: Blake... *sits on the other side of Blake and wraps an arm around her* Your mother and I will always love you.

Blake: You were right. *verge of tears* I shouted at you and (Y/n) too. But you were right. I called you cowards!

Ghira: It's okay.

Blake: I should've left the White Fang with you and Mom. I should've listened to you and I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.

Ghira: *gently moves Blake's face to look at him* Blake, It's fine. We never held anything against you, and I never feared you would fail. The only thing I ever feared was that you would fall down the wrong path, and I'm so proud to see you haven't.

Blake: But I did! I was-

Ghira: And you pulled yourself out. You came back! Not many people have that kind of strength, and even fewer that have the courage to face their demons again. Vale, Mountain Glenn, Beacon. You confronted the White Fang over and over again.

Blake: I didn't do it alone.

Ghira: No, you didn't... Which is why I wanted to ask you... Why did you leave Vale? Why did you leave your friends behind? And why do push (Y/n) away when all he wants is to make you happy?

Blake: I-

     Suddenly, the door falls off it's hinges and Sun collapses throught the door, ugh, maybe I should've let (Y/n) beat him senseless.

Sun: Whoops, wrong door!

Ghira: I really don't like you.

     I grab Sun by his hair and pull him outside, then I slap him across the face over and over.

Blake: *SLAP* No concept of privacy! *SLAP* No respect for personal space!

Sun: I'm sorry, okay! Ow, I'm sorry!

Blake: Ugh!

Sun: Look, I promise it was important! I needed to talk to you!

Blake: What, Sun? What could be so important?!

Sun: I was talking to your mom and she said something weird about the White Fang!

Blake: I'm stopping you right there.

Sun: But-

Blake: I told you, I'm not here to fight the White Fang. I'm not here to fight anybody. I'm here to rest, to figure things out and to see my family.

Sun: Your mom said White Fang members don't wear masks on Menagerie, but I saw one today at the market. I even got a picture. *pulls out scroll* Look, I'm trying to help.

Blake: I don't WANT your help! *throws scroll away*

Sun: Oh just like you did with (Y/n). He walked out today saying you needed time but clearly time isn't-

     We then hear a sound from the bushes and we look and I see a dark silohuette jump from the bushes and through the trees.

Sun: A freaking ninja?!

Blake: A spy! After her!

(Y/n) POV

      I get a call on my scroll from Sun and answer.

(Y/n): Sun? What do you want?

Sun: We're after a White Fang spy! Ping the location on my scroll and get here fast!

(Y/n): I'm on my way.

     I ping Sun's location and see that they are indeed chasing something, and headed towards, the gorge, uh-oh. I quickly change into lion mode and rush through town hoping I'm not too late.

(A/N): Okay, this already running long so I'm gonna stop here and continue next time. Things are starting to get intense now, huh? Hope you guys enjoy, leave a like if you did and I'll see you next time and consider following me so you don't miss out on any of my stories, love you all. PEACE OUT!!!
